Once We Were

         A
Once we were

In our peace
         E
With our lives

Asured
        A
Once we were
    D
Not afraid
       A
Of the dark

Once we sat

In our kingdom
     E
With hope

And pride
        A
Once we ran
            D
Through the fields

With great
A
Strides
   A
We held
    F#m
The fade

And the
D
Demon's flight
   A
So far

From our children
    E
And from our lives
   F#m
We held together
    D
The fragile sky
   A        D
To keep our way
   A
Of life
        A
Once we raised

Up our chalice
   E
In victory
         A
Once we sat
       D
In the light
       A
Of our dreams
        A
Once we were

In our home-land
     E
With strength

And might
        A
Once we were
    D
Not afraid
       A
Of the night
   A
We held
    F#m
The fade

And the
D
Demon's flight
    A
So far

From our children
    E
And from

Our lives
   A
We held together
    D
The fragile sky
   A        D
To keep our way
   A
Of life
